Considering riding into Mexico (barely)

[GunMD]

I'm ride planning for next month and I'm considering riding into Mexico JSO Yuma, AZ and re-entering the US JSO Organ Pipe National Monument. Any advice or road info is appreciated (especially road conditions, traffic, speed limits, and other important stuff that I might overlook.

I've not been there, but I'm told to spring for the Mexican insurance. Don't ask me how to get it either... :dntknw:

Don't drink the water.

My insurance company (USAA) recommends Bravo for SOB insurance.

We all expect a ride report, BTW.

IRT the auto insurance, you're right. There are no shortage of places in border towns to purchase the stuff and my insurance carrier will even sell it to me if I ask in advance (Allstate). I've ridden into Mexico before, so the insurance part is a fairly comfortable process for me. What I want to avoid is getting 100 miles into Mexico hwy 2 and finding out it turns into a goat trail.

Isn't that called the Groo mistake? (in reference to his adventure in going to the last WFO)

I can think of a few people where I work who need that insurance.

Apparently not good enough... :dribble:

Perhaps you could try calling the toursim folks in Sonora and ask them about the road.

From what I read, be prepared for the military checkpoints. The border area may be a little dicey.

Regs,
